Frommer's Review

This is a reasonable option in high-priced Banff; the rooms in this spiffy motel are large, well-maintained, and relatively contemporary, and the short stroll to Banff Avenue is an amenity that usually isn't listed, but does factor into the cost. Every room has a balcony or patio; all have king- or queen-size beds. Some have a bathroom that splits the room into two separate sleeping areas, which is great for privacy if you want to put 4 people in a room. The motel recently undertook a light renovation, though not on the rooms themselves, which are tidy, but dated; however, the slick new lobby and chic wood-slat façade give it a contemporary sheen. The new hot tub, in the middle of the interior courtyard, doesn't offer a lot of privacy, but it's bigger and better than it was.

Facilities:
Hot tub; sauna; steam room; gift shop; coin-op laundry; Internet access terminal

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
